Letter to the Editor: Blue Texas? No thanks.

So Dave McNeely, and many others, including the owners of this paper, want to turn Texas blue. But none of them have said what we could expect if Texas did turn blue. Yes, it was a blue state before but times were different then, people had different values then. What could we expect if it became Democratic now?

Would we become like California and New York, “nanny states” with regulations telling us how “they” want us to live? Higher taxes to support ever larger government and expanded welfare? Gun control? Abortion on a whim? Gay marriage? No personal accountability? What?

So, Mr. McNeely and others like you, what could we expect if Texas became blue? Maybe many Texans, who now vote Democrat, might not share your version of an all-blue Texas.
